Sue’s website is a little hard to navigate as there are no search engines provided - just category listings. It is fun to go through her website and see the colors of both wool and threads. It is a one stop shop, however, her shipping rates are based on $ spent - and can become very expensive.
Laura Wasilowski hand dyed threads
Search for Nunofeltingsupplies - velvet fabric scraps
www.craftsy.com - On line class
They offer a Sue Spargo class “Embroidering Texture and Dimension by Hand” ..I think this is the best money I ever spent. She goes through how to make many of the stitches you will want to use for embellishing. There is a kit you can get from her to make the butterflies - however, you can also create your own, out of your own fabrics as the butterfly patterns is included….however, she does not provide any input on how to embellish the butterflies. You will learn about threads as well as the stitches. I go to the site often for a refresher on a stitch. NOTE: She may offer a second class sometime in the future.
This site carries some wool packs and perle cottons
